Hi all,
You'd think in my entire life of having about 30 cats, I'd already know the answer to this one. Nope!
One of my kittens, Oscar, seemed particularly itchy and licky earlier in the week, and it lasted a couple of days. It was very reminiscent of those little "f" bombs (ie, fleas) but not exactly. I did check, and nada. None of the other critters are having this issue.
It seemed to get better yesterday. Coincidentally, it got damper outside too and less "wintry" the last couple days. I know I have been rather itchy myself the last few days, because I ALWAYS get that winter itch. Do cats get it too? I've never, ever had a cat get something like that before.
It was not like he was scratching his skin off. It was more like he would start scratching and licking only if he was standing still while contemplating jumping on his brother (for example).
Thanks!
